The best way would be to buy used low end GPUs and put them in your machine.

There is no market for such requirements. It must be really old and crappy GPUs for this price.

So what you're saying is I either self-host my machines or have to order >=$1000/mo machines with 4x 1080's SLI'd? There surely must be a solution to my very simple problem.

You are not going to find anything at that price with a GPU worth using.

If you are willing to spend a little more talk to a bare metal supplier about installing you own GPU’s in one of their servers. My company did this and it was the cheapest way to get reasonable performance on a budget.

You can find stuff in between ($150-250 1x GPU) but no, $35 + windows + no cc = no.

Keep in mind the windows licence is already 75-200% ofyour monthly budget. Run it in Linux if you can, better CUDA/etc support too
